Cookie Mill’s Barn

Debbie George is the founder of Cookie Mill, an Arizona bakery that specializes in creative sugar cookies for marketing and special corporate events. 

In 2019, Debbie sold her house and moved to Phoenix to take care of her mom. Fitting her life and business into her mother’s home was a challenge—but Cookie Mill’s barn added the extra space that made it possible. 

Cookie Mill’s Barn is Anything but Cookie-Cutter

Debbie’s shed may house her impressive collection of over 5,000 cookie cutters—but the building itself isn’t cookie cutter at all. It’s customized to meet her specific needs. 

Debbie paid a visit to a Tuff Shed showroom. There, she fell in love with Tuff Shed barns, and decided on a spacious Premier Tall Barn. She added a loft for extra storage—and a cozy place to take naps between fulfilling orders and dreaming up new designs. 

Lots of natural light was also a must, so she added windows that she specifically placed for neighborly comfort, making sure they weren’t facing anyone’s property. 

Tuff Shed allows you to bring us custom paint for your structure, but Debbie went the opposite direction. She opted to match her house color to her shed! Then, for the extra added touch, she ordered extra shutters and flower boxes to put on the kitchen of the house for the ultimate matching effect.

The icing on top of the… cookie? A gorgeous spiral staircase that Debbie custom ordered from Paragon Stairs in Pennsylvania.

Leave it to someone whose entire business revolves around customization to understand how to make every last aspect of her shed work for her. (And at some of the best values out there, too.) 

That’s How the Cookie Crumbles

Now, Debbie has sold over 100,000 cookies for businesses all over the United States.

Cookie Mill celebrated its 5-year anniversary in January 2025, and they’re looking ahead to an even sweeter future. You can follow them on Facebook and LinkedIn.
